In 2004 Ms. Bruce sold her company, body+soul/whole living, to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and served as their Managing Director for five years, during which time she led the growth of the business: quadrupling the revenues and tripling the circulation, spawning a multi‐platform franchise than includes website, video on demand, a daily radio show and a new green cleaning product‐line.
“Throughout my years as a publisher of women’s health magazines, I heard from thousands of women about their quests for well-being and their desires to regain control of their lives. Their stories were all different, but I noticed a common thread running through them. I realized that simply reading about how to change things wasn’t enough to help people change.
I discovered the need for something like meQuilibrium after a surprising personal epiphany. I was experiencing a fast-track career high point, and instead of being thrilled, I felt like I was at an all-time low. What was keeping me from enjoying the rewards of my work? What was going on in my head? And how could I adjust it? I knew that real self-improvement doesn’t come from taking a pill and wishing problems away. It doesn’t require spending thousands of dollars at medical facilities and high-end spas, either.
As it turns out, lasting balance in your life is the product of self-awareness, setting goals that are doable and a commitment to yourself. That’s what inspired meQuilibrium.”
